Volkswagen Club of Pakistan (VWCOP)

Lets all contribute pics and memories to this timeless classic that has faithfully served generations. It is my 1st car memory and my dad who is a Beetle enthusiast at one time had a total of 4 beetles in our garage Here's a little history of this miraculous German wonder: 'The history of the Beetle really goes back to pre 2nd world war Germany when Ferdinand Porsche had a vision of a mass produced vehicle that was affordable to the average German, an idea that was shared with the young Adolf Hitler who himself could not drive, but was a car fanatic. Hitler was apparently influenced by the achievements of Henry Ford and his production lines - reading Ford's biography while in prison during 1923. Porsche had previously worked on some other small cars that used many elements later to be included in the Beetle. The Type 32 prototype NSU of 1934 was an air-cooled rear engined four cylinder horizontally opposed powered car that used torsion bar suspension and featured beetle-like styling.' --- source - Google.co.uk lets keep the posts rolling - add pics of bugs you've owned or own! I'll add my dad's bug family pics as well ... I guess he fell in love with this oddly shaped car after he drove it down to Pakistan from Germany!!!! .. stories of that wonderous journey keep us entertained whenever our family gets together

Yes his 1200cc economy bug has a 1600 dual port put in for fun driving. The original engine is carefully stored I believe so Im sure the car can be reversed back to its original form in a matter of a couple of hours.

What Romano preaches (correct me if Im wrong please) is for people to first sort out the mechanical bits the right way and only then going for alloy rims and such bling bling.

An original beetle has its own charms even if its in faded paint. One needs to see it through the eyes of a lover!

While the gun is still smokin, do let me know if its not sacrilege to go for a 1500 style louvered rear decklid, post 73 rear fender and elephants feet, American spec front seats n steering and a few bits on a 68 1300??

@asad
those inserts have been done before here in ISB and they came off due to the heat over here on one of classic cars (non VW)

as for calling them fluffy, that's only for romano, i'll call anything he does to his car "fluffy", anyone else is welcome to do it.

"The rough, hard idle swells up and out from under the car, ricochets off other cars, and rams into the ears of the driver, the spectators. You think twice about a 383 Road Runner, but a hemi only once -- and let it pass."

I'm doing fine!
After about 10 food poisonings in my first year here, I've adjusted to everything foul!

@asad
there is this german white glue which is rarely available in PK but i've used it and you have no idea how strong that stuff is. it's used in sialkot alot in the embriodery business as well as the garments business. perhaps someone from there could source you some.
